Legacy characters again

There's another potential problem with legacy characters that didn't occur to me until yesterday when I was talking with the kids. I will illustrate. Example one...

Mom's favorite Flashes, in order:
1. Jay
2. Wally
3. Barry
4. Bart

The kids favorite Flashes, in order:
1. The Flash. You know, the Flash! What do you mean there's more than one?


Example two...

Mom's favorite Robins, in order:
1. Jason
2. Dick
3. Tim
4. Stephanie

The kids' favorite Robins, in order:
1. I think his name is Tim? There was more than one of them, too? Really? Nightwing used to be Robin? Seriously? Whoa.


Example three...

Mom's favorite Green Lanterns, in order:
1. Kyle
2. Guy
3. John
4. Alan
5. Hal

The kids' favorite Green Lanterns, in order:
1. John
2. John
3. John
4. John
5. Guy
